What is Mycoplasma?
Mycoplasma is a naturally occurring bacterium that can infect both men and women. It is a common cause of urethritis in men and cervicitis in women. Mycoplasma can be spread by vaginal, penile, oral or anal sexual contact.

How is Mycoplasma treated?
Mycoplasma can be treated with a short course of antibiotics. It is important that you complete the full course of medication and refrain from engaging in sexual activities to avoid reinfection. You may also opt to take another test following the conclusion of your treatment to ensure that the STI has completely cleared from your system.
What else should I get tested for?
Curable STIs like Mycoplasma are reasonably straightforward to manage and treat if your result comes back positive. However, there are more harmful infections that can cause long-term damage to your system if left undiagnosed and untreated.
At Better2Know, we recommend regular attention to your sexual health. Our Full Screen provides fast, accurate testing for six harmful STIs, including HIV, to put your mind at ease regarding your personal health.
